We had a shooting here in MA last night by a State Trooper:
WORCESTER, Mass. (WHDH) -- A 43-year-old Worcester man, Victor Devilla,
was shot and killed in Worcester by a state trooper Wednesday night.
The shooting happened some time after midnight at Chandler and Irving
streets. Police say the man was driving a stolen car and heading right
for the trooper when the trooper opened fire, firing a single shot and
hitting the suspect in the stomach.
“The trooper was standing in front of the suspect vehicle,” State
Police spokesperson David Procopio said. “And the evidence indicates
that the vehicle definitely was in drive and possibly driving toward
him, putting him in fear for his safety.”
Now go look at the picture the paper puts up of the suspect.... HERE
Are they all trained to step in front of every car,or is that just the easiest excuse in the books for LEO to discharge a weapon at a person? I mean,200lb. Man vs. 2,000lb + machine? Dam.

Damn media. They are looking for 'the heartfelt story' instead of the facts.
ReplyDeleteI agree with DFW. Let's see what, if anything substantive, the other cameras from that area show about the "confrontation".

ReplyDeleteThis article said suspect was shot in the stomach, the linked article said he was shot in the chest. If it was stomach, the trooper is lying. If it was the chest, then probably not.
ReplyDeleteAs for the suspect being a father: immaterial. That earns him zero sympathy points. In this type of case, "sympathy" is a word in the dictionary between "suicide" and "syphilis". If "daddy" was all that concerned about his children, perhaps he should have been holding down a job instead of stealing property that someone else worked for.
Ogrrre
Sarthurk here. I ditched Google , so I don't have a profile I can comment with. Anyway, this is all so much BS. I didn't catch if the Trooper was white or what. If he was white, I can understand. All us white folk are racist!
